Is there anyone who handles this issue?

[BorntraegerMarc]

No. Never had the time to do it :(

There is an open PR that includes some change requests and did some updates. But it never got merged.

@darrachequesne Could you please update the typings? You are probably the most familiar with all existing functions and types.
